Imagine plunging into the depths of the ocean and coming face to face with a creature that glides through the water with ...

Mutations fuel evolution while also causing diseases like cancer. Epigenome-targeted DNA repair can help organisms protect important genomic regions from mutation. However, the adaptive value, ...

This helps the species to be more successful in its habitat. It’s natural selection at work. In some examples of convergent evolution, species evolve the same solution to a problem but take a ...

Ultimately, the widespread occurrence of SSSB in mammals, especially primates, strongly suggests that such behaviors are ...

Colossal Bioscience says it has “de-extincted” the dire wolf, but other scientists disagree and say more important ...

Results of a study show convergent genetic adaptation under hypoxia (lack of oxygen) between populations living at ...

The dire wolf is a canine species that has been extinct for around 10,000 years, having lived up to 250,000 years ago. Living ...

Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence ...

Shrimp look an awful lot like bugs. The exoskeletons, jointed legs and compound eyes of both groups of living things give ...

nature’s shared adaptations Convergent evolution is a process where unrelated species independently develop similar traits to ...
